Pockets of Grace.

    Have you ever had a really bad day and felt really awful about yourself and then someone comes up to you and compliments you.  Or you were really hungry and someone offered you half of their lunch without knowing.  Or someone offered you a piece of gum and didn't know your breath was stinky? Don't those little "pockets of grace" make the WORLD of a difference?

    I have read stories about teenagers who were going to commit suicide on a particular day because they felt worthless and felt like they did not amount to anything. But on that particular day, someone complimented them or asked them to hang out for the first time, and they choose NOT to take their own life. It was all about the pocket of grace, the particular person gave them that day that saved their life.

    I often think about teenage girls who end up pregnant our of wedlock. These girls are scared out of their minds. Wondering what their family and friends, CHURCH, and outsiders will think of them. SO scared to the point of contemplating abortion.  I really feel that if we were to extend grace and love to these girls ( and guys who are involved ) and realize that they made a mistake, but also, realize that YOU make equal too or worse mistakes, that these girls would keep the baby or put it up for adoption. It is all about giving grace and love to people in all kinds of situations.

    The cool thing about grace is that we do not deserve it, but it is given to us anyways. Take a relationship with the Lord for example. NONE of us deserve it, and yet we get it, time and time again. Its a selfLESS love which its worth cannot be measured.

    Remember how you feel when someone give you undeserving grace, and give someone that grace today. You never know what that person is going through.
